The Webster University Athens branch hosts the Odyssey in Athens study abroad program. It is a unique program designed to afford college students a rich cultural experience in the birthplace of Western civilization. Students take accredited courses in their chosen fields of study alongside Greek and other international students. This feature distinguishes Odyssey in Athens from other study abroad programs and facilitates the process of cultural integration. Odyssey in Athens is based in the facilities of Webster University Athens -in the historic area known as Plaka- at the base of the Acropolis. Two buildings house classrooms, computer lab, library, administrative offices, and a cultural center. With its extraordinary artistic, intellectual and cultural heritage, Athens is richly endowed with resources for formal study and experiential learning. The museums at the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora, as well as the National Archaeological Museum, the Cycladic Museum, and the Benaki collections are within minutes of the University's facilities. Athens is a modern city with a plethora of activity. Cultural events including concerts, gallery exhibits, dance and theatre are an integral part of everyday life. Sporting events such as soccer and basketball bring the people of Athens together cheering passionately for their teams, as they did in ancient times. The spirit, energy and thought of the ancient Greeks taught the world so much.
